7th Grade Math Theoretical & Experimental Probability Activity
This is a hands-on activity for students to explore the difference between theoretical and experimental probability through 2 situations: a spinner and a number cube. This can be completed individually or with pairs.

This Skittles Lab is a fun and engaging way to get students excited about finding probabilities. The experiment involves finding the theoretical and experimental probability of choosing a specific order of skittles from a bag. Students work best in groups of three to calculate their probabilities an

This engaging activity will allow students to explore theoretical and experimental probability while using dice and keeping track of their data. Students will complete several trials of rolling two (or three) dice and adding their values. Students will learn about normal distribution curves (bell

Foldable include definition and example of probability, theoretical probability, and experimental probability.
Guided practice finding the theoretical probability of a spinner as well, doing the experiment and finding the experimental probability, and comparing the two.

Algebra 2 Honors: Theoretical and Experimental Probability
This is the second lesson in a five-lesson unit on PROBABILITY designed for Algebra 2 Honors students with general knowledge of basic probability.
The product includes everything you need to teach a rigorous lesson:
✎ Two options of an 8-

I use this lesson as part of my Probabability Fair Unit. All of the lessons/activities have a fair theme, whether it be fair food, rides, animals, etc.. With this lesson, students learn the concept of theoretical and experimental probability by conducting their own experiments with pictures of com

Student will design and man a carnival game with compound events leading up to 3 levels of prizes. Students must submit a game proposal and get approved by their teacher, calculate the theoretical probability of wi

Error analysis is a great way to get your students engaging in higher level thinking! My students love being the teacher and finding other students' errors. In this product, you will get 6 different error analysis problems all related to theoretical and experimental probability. Rather than the trad

This investigation has students conduct two experiments to learn about the difference between theoretical and experimental (empirical) probability. In the first experiment, students will flip a coin and explain how their experimental probability compares to the theoretical probability. In the seco

Riddles are a great way to make a boring worksheet fun. However, I found students knew the answer to the riddle and just chose the answers to fill in the letters without doing any of the math. This way, students have to create the riddle before they can answer it.

Students will collect all of the Lucky Charms in this activity that assesses their ability to make predictions based on theoretical and experimental probabilities.
Students will love getting out of their seats to interpret bar graphs, pie charts, tables, and stories! They will use the theoretical a

Activity provides students with a comparison of the theoretical probability and experimental probability for the sum of two tossed dice. Students toss dice and record the results for experimental probability and list all the possible outcomes for each sum and calculate the theoretical probability.

This product gives short explanations for students about what theoretical and experimental probabilities are. For both it gives an opportunity to find the probability, as well as on the last page a place to compare the two.
There are 3 pages of explanation/worksheets in this product.

A set of 5 open-ended problems (one for each day of the week) applying theoretical and experimental probability. Students get to apply both concepts and explore the difference between them. Modeled after those types of open-ended questions that appear on state standardized graduation tests. Comes w

This lab asks students to find the experimental and theoretical probability using different manipulatives. They will use a spinner, a red/yellow chip, octagonal dice, and a bag of color tiles. (If you do not have these items, I have left this as a word document so that it may be edited according t

This is the suggested answers to my free download.
No answers to the 2nd page as it is experimental probability. It is suggested to this together in order to make grading a bit easier for the experimental probability.
